Until there’s evidence there’s basically no reason to treat this as news.

The ai is trained on recordings of his voice which they have not secured the rights to though. You can’t simply use any data you find on the street and use it professionally in any field.

An impression is a very different context. You’re vastly overestimating the independence of an AI model to equate it to human performance or impersonators.

Insanely deep rpgs are a bit of an issue for me as well. And I generally do love rpg games, but I feel like the good ones should ease you into decisions a bit better than dropping you into a character creator.

So it’s a mixed bag for me.

Does anyone know if this affects mods like CS?

Edit: Idk if it’s just me on linux, but it seems like CS1.6 no longer launches on the new update. A bummer, but I had a lot of fun play HLDM just now so I think they’ll fix it eventually.

Hey! It’s like they read my last comment in the shutdown announcement thread.

This is really the best move they can make at this point.

Crazy to me that they’d shut down instead of going open source and integrating with the fediverse. Doesn’t even seem like a good business move as offering hosting for other companies and professional groups seems like a good market opportunity in a world where businesses even dislike Twitter.

Edit: for example, offer gitlab like service but for social media.

If an intern gives you some song lyrics on demand, do they sue the parents?

Uh— what? That analogy makes no sense. AI is trained off actual lyrics, which is why companies who create these models are at risk (they don’t own the data they’re feeding into the model.)

Also your comment is completely mixing Trademark and Copyright examples. It has nothing to do with brand names and everything to do with intellectual property.

I agree. It’s a mistake for Valve to reduce platform support as it becomes a justification for dropping other platforms for other developers as well.

I know that MacOS is a bit of a pain to support right now with how steam and third party applications are treated, but it would be a bigger issue for Apple to drop support if Valve maintained a strong presence on the platform via steam. With the way things are now, Apple might rip the bandaid off and just remove the ability to have third party stores on their computers. This is already what they do with Iphones/Ipads

Companies need to stop ignoring copyright on data they don’t own and never have owned.

One review (easy allies) made it sound like the online function was non-operational during the review period. You’ll probably have to wait until the game drops or a day before to hear any takes on how the online works.

People say use a vpn, but it seems to me like most vpns don’t allow torrenting.

Really wish this game had controller support. I want to try it on the steam deck but only community bindings are available!

Do you have a source for this? That’s interesting but I can’t find the origin of this story.

Original creator was only involved in the “first season”, all the way back in 2000. Two new seasons were made in the 2010s when adult swim decided they needed to “bring it back” with a completely new director and animation studio. It wasn’t good, and now they’re committing to two more new seasons.

Most of us agree that all the follow up seasons are non-cannon and a mess. It distracts from what a good series the original 6-episode OVA was.

I’m much happier with his design than SFV…

Some of them are just too far invested to see the light. It’s actually pretty sad to see twitter addicts fail to migrate to any of the plethora of alternatives.

Do you have a PC?

If you do, obviously most of Nintendo’s titles are worth having. Zelda games are an easy recommend, but also Splatoon is pretty great.

If not, there’s tons of games that are good that aren’t Nintendo games that I think are worth having.

• Octopath Traveler is awesome. I haven’t played 2 yet, but I can recommend 1 if you like JRPGs
• All legacy FF games are on the platform to some capacity
• Ace Attorney game collections are great if you like visual novels
• Basically every indie is on the platform at this point. Hollow Knight, Shovel Knight, Axiom Verge, probably a lot of others but those are some big names that come to mind.
• Otherwise, I would avoid ports that haven’t gotten good reviews. Also, make sure that the games aren’t “cloud only” unless you’re comfortable with that.

To be fair, I think his point is pretty clear: No ad based content means potentially no more “influencers” or content creators, but with the up side that the internet would become healthier. He’s basically acknowledging that his whole job is sustained by a business model that’s not entirely healthy for the internet despite being entirely dependent on it.

The “no moat” is the theme of this year’s internet and is the real reason why reddit introduced a fee for their API (despite not telling people that directly, in fear of looking greedy) and Twitter heavily rate limiting their content (to slow down AI scraping from their “competitors”)

The irony is that their obsession with keeping their current database private, they’ve essentially removed a large chunk of their existing userbase who are generating new content. They’re going to have to hope that AI can procedurally create new content for them and that (importantly) people are interested in reading non-humans talk about anything.
